About this house rental

This home is a skier's paradise. The home is at the base of Rib Mountain State Park. Very short drive to the top of Granite Peak where you can park and ski down. Ride the chair lifts back to the top when you are done for the day and drive home to warm up by the indoor fireplace, or for the brave ones, by the outdoor firepit.

Rib Mountain Log home near state park featuring updated open concept kitchen with granite countertops, gas cooktop, kitchen island with granite snack bar. Awesome screened porch overlooking backyard fire pit for enjoying the amazing fully treed lot. Lots of wild life make their way through the backyard. Main level boasts 3 bedrooms and bathroom.

Attached two car garage and finished 30x30 heated detached garage is excellent for a private room for the children to play and or game room. We do have extra Queen size air mattresses that can be used in this building, however, there it must be noted that there is no running water in the extra building. The building is set up with poker tables, a bar area, scooter for kids to ride and lounge area. There are two separate rooms in the building that can be used for extra sleeping arrangements or play area. Hardwood floors and new carpeting through out the home.

We were in town for a family function and this home became the perfect gathering space for our small group who were staying around town. There is a lot of sleeping space and room to spread out for those who were staying at the house. The bunk room was a kiddo favorite. The outdoor space and play set were great for everyone to be outside and have something they could enjoy. The hosts were very responsive to questions or issues that arose. We would recommend this property to others looking for a space for a large number to stay and be able to have others over.

I was a little disappointed the drive up ski down isn’t a lie, however everyone better be able to do expert runs. That is the only access to the ski down part. Granite Peak doesn’t disappoint, excellent resort. This house served its purpose for us and kids however a few things we address with the host already. I hate giving bad reviews but it needs a update furniture and decor. I’m sure it’s difficult to keep up on this kind of stuff. But it does make a better impression. Host was very nice !

Great hosts, friendly safe neighborhood, convenient to stores but set in beautiful Rib Mountain State Park. Loved hiking and biking here. Younger kids enjoyed trampoline park, swimming pools, tennis, disc golf, ultimate, mini golf. The cabin was very well stocked with every kitchen item you could possibly want and it also has with lots of comfortable beds. All the cousins shared the basement while adults were upstairs in the bedrooms.We also went to a Wausau Woodchucks game which was super fun. We will definitely be back! Go Woodchucks!

The locaton was very quiet and beautiful nature scene. Walking distance to trails and hikes. Short drive to the groceries. The owners were very fast at communicating and everyone enjoyed themselves! Thank you so much!

Jennifer, Thank you for the upgrade to the home with the pool. I do not know if you visit it often but it needs some TLC There are a ton of burnt out bulbs, an ant problem in the pool area and generally it needs to be gone through and have maintainence. Your location and site was amazing. It was however not very neat, clean or organized for use. Also, I would recommend instructions for tv use and internet. There were none on site, and all the batteries for the remotes were near dead which caused a lot of issues with the use of the tvs.

I organized a departmental ski trip for other PhD students in my department and another department. We had 20 attendees total; we drove up from Evanston (4hrs) in six cars. We had no issues sleeping everyone. There are only two bathrooms, which can be a limiting factor if everyone expects to shower. Most of our group downhill skied on Saturday at Granite Peak. We fortunately came immediately after the first snow storm of the season; it was good quality skiing, even compared to western US skiing. I took folks in my carpool to cross-country ski on Sunday at the Nine Mile Forest Cross-Country Skiing and Snowshoeing compound. This compound was clean and serene - certainly worth the entrance fee. Jennifer was a responsive, kind, and organized host. The house is well-designed for large groups: we made tacos on Saturday evening with an enormous variety of meats (5) and toppings (~15). The kitchen was well-stocked and we could prepare our meal without issue. The large island allowed a large number of people to cut and prepare food in parallel; it was a lot of fun but also efficient. The couch area is also quite large and allowed us to transition into a game night easily. Overall, I highly recommend this location for a large gathering.

From booking thru checkin/checkout, this was a great experience. Hosts were super responsive to any questions even with it being a holiday week. The house was exactly as advertised, spacious with plenty of room for our family and their friends. The ski-room was very convenient for storing our ski gear overnight. The location was incredible. Loved being able to just drop the kids off at the top of the mountain vs having to go around Rib and finding parking (just make sure your skiiers are aware the slopes from the top parking lot are not exactly beginner friendly. Fine for most of our group, but we did still have a few that were more comfortable making the trip down to the base and staying on greens). Super convenient either way. Most of all wanted to commend the hosts, I've stayed at many properties with this large group and it was great to have a homeowner so quickly responsive to the variety of questions that always popup. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us, we look forward to staying here again!
